All references throughout this guide to the Smart 116 IP refer equally to the Smart
108 IP. The two units are functionally the same. The Smart 116 IP has 16 Server
ports and the Smart 108 IP has 8 Server ports.
The Smart 116 IP extends your KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) from any
computer or server over TCP/IP via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. Now you
can control, monitor and manage up to 16 remote servers from wherever you are,
inside or outside the organization. The Smart 116 IP is a cost-effective hardware
solution, for secure remote KVM access & control of 16 computers/servers from
the BIOS level - independent of the OS. One local analog or one remote digital IP
user can access and control 16 multi-platform (PS/2, SUN, USB) servers.

5. Pre-installation guidelines
• Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that
are likely to generate electrical noise
• Place the Smart 116 IP on a flat, clean and dry surface
• The Smart 116 IP is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines
• Ensure that the maximum distance between each computer and the Smart 116
IP, does not exceed 10m/33ft for RICCs and 30m/100ft for ROCs.
Each computer/server is directly connected to the Smart 116 IP via the appropriate
ROC using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is needed at the
remote ROCs. The ROCs draw their power from the computer’s keyboard port
(ROC PS/2) or from the USB port (ROC USB).
6.1.1 Connecting a ROC PS/2
You can connect the ROC PS/2 to a powered on computer, but it must be in the
following order. Failure to connect in this order while the server is running, may
lead to the mouse malfunctioning until the server is rebooted.
1. Connect the Mouse connector to the computer’s Mouse port.
2. Connect the Keyboard connector to the computer’s Keyboard port.
3. Connect the Screen connector to the computer’s Video port.
6.1.2 Connecting a ROC USB
The ROC USB supports Windows 98 SE and later, MAC, SUN and SGI, and all
modern Linux distributions.
To connect the ROC USB:
1. Connect the Screen connector to the computer’s Video port.
2. Connect the USB connector to the computer’s USB port.
